Why ridiculing and dismissing bad information is going to loose the fight against populist discourse

Dutch anti-Muslim populist Geert Wilders goes full Trump, claiming on X after he lost the election that there are reports of vote fraud. Also claimed the election authority was not neutral. Tearing down the pillars of Dutch democracy. nos.nl/l/2588722

Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza for a ‘gender reveal’, having rigged it with explosives that give off blue smoke to indicate a fetus is male.

There are two reasons why Putin invaded Ukraine. The first is that he believed he could. In 2014, Ukraine was weak, embroiled in revolution. He tested this by annexing Crimea—and succeeded. He tried again in eastern Ukraine; it didn’t go as well, but he bided his time. 1/12
